The Elephant Village makes an ideal location to kick start your tour. Located three kilometres west of Hua Hin, this village gives you an opportunity to get up close and personal with these wild yet gentle creatures. Feed bananas to the several male, female and baby elephants and enjoy watching them eat, bathe and go about their daily routines. Next comes the most exciting part of the whole tour, a ride on the back of the largest mammals on earth!
Hop aboard the wooden bench placed on the back of these mighty creatures and enjoy a wobbly and adventurous ride through thick jungles, lakes and swamps. Experience a fascinating journey as these creatures climb steep hills between earth and mud and traverse ledges between hillside drops and tree filled lanes. Those planning to take on this adventure from the Elephant Village itself can try the one hour village tour on elephant back and enjoy this thrill on a whole new level.
Hua Hin has plenty of other nature friendly activities that assure you and your family a fun filled holiday. The Safari and Adventure Park is not too far off and has an array of interesting performances that feature not just elephants but crocodiles and cobras as well.
